    Rail industry preparing for national strikes

    I wonder what'll happen now then... I assume the strikes will go ahead, starting some time in mid june w/c Sunday 12th June... Can't see RMT and the regime reaching a deal!

    Southern Class 313 withdrawal/storage/scrapping updates

    Christ, Southern are keeping the 313's on the Brighton to Portsmouth service? Pre-Covid this was a 377! The Brighton - Portsmouth service will be doing additional stops too, to make up for the lack of a west worthing stopper! Canned in like Sardines comes to mind!

    Trivia: cathedrals, abbeys and castles which can be seen from trains

    Arundel Castle is visible from Arundel Junction.... it's probably visible from the station too....but am unsure, as its been a while since I've been there.

    Southern May 2022 timetable change

    If the Brighton to West Worthing trains aren't running, I presume this means the Southampton and Portsmouth trains will not only be absolutely rammed east of Chichester, but one or both services will also call everywhere east of Chichester to make up for the west worthing stoppers.

    Great Ticket Sale courtesy of Grant Shapps

    Went on to the ticket sale website through national rail.... First thing it offers me from my local station (Worthing) is trips to to outer suburbs out London for £2.70. Got to laugh.

    Thameslink ‘Core’ major disruption (04/04)

    What happens with the drivers in situations like this where they forget to put the pantograph down and chaos across the network follows. Nothing? A tea with biscuits meeting with a manager? A refreshment free meeting with a manager? More training?

    Southern Further Timetable changes from 19th Feb

    Agreed. There were electrostars parked next to hove station, usually frequented by the unused Gatwick express stock. where have the electrostars that were doing the Brighton Southampton runs gone? GTR got rid of the electro stars and replaced it with a banger for the Brighton portsmouth...

    Southern Further Timetable changes from 19th Feb

    The west coastway service is really poor now. I'm sat on a banger (albeit 313201) from Brighton to Chichester. This used to be an electrostar!

    Russia invades Ukraine

    That's going to be very difficult when people realise the cost of the green / net zero malarky! Totally unaffordable to the average person. I haven't watched a single minute of RT! Although, thank goodness there is still an alternative viewpoint available for the time being, should I choose to...

    Russia invades Ukraine

    I would argue they'll end up being far more than just a bit-player. They do have their hands on the gas taps which mainland Europe needs.

    Russia invades Ukraine

    I'm not too bothered, but I'd be really interested to know which bits are BS. Time to accept the American Empire is dying. The next will consist of China and probably Russia/india. We should be preparing for that. i.e, be as self sufficient as possible. Rather than listen to donkeys like Liz...

    Russia invades Ukraine

    I reckon it won't be long before a ceasefire is reached. Putin has pushed America (NATO) back. Putin has no intention of taking over all of Ukraine. Putin I should imagine, wants America out of eastern europe. And who can blame him, after their pathetic attempt of regime change in Syria, their...

    Storm Franklin - Further weather disruption possible

    Disruption to services - Storm Dudley & Storm Eunice

    I should imagine a fair few passengers are paying an awful lot of money to stand squashed in like a sardine! Kind of reminds me of the Indian trains, the only difference being passengers aren't on the roof!

    Disruption to services - Storm Dudley & Storm Eunice

    Turns out there are concerns about the Roof in Chichester.

    Disruption to services - Storm Dudley & Storm Eunice

    What's the deal on the West Coastway from Brighton. I know there's no service, but I'm curious as to which out of a tree/bin/roof/trampoline is blocking the lines and where.
